This paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with Random PWM technique (RVSC) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. This control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

Currently, the cellphone industry is moving towards an integrated CMOS solution for power amplifiers. Cheaper phones for consumers and better bottom lines for companies are the result of this. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the use of pulse width modulation in a high efficiency integrated CMOS power amplifier for a wireless application. Though high efficiency CMOS power amplifiers ex...

Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) has been used to treat obesity with unclear mechanisms and limited parameter ranges. This study explores effects of GES parameters on ventral medial hypothalamic (VMH) activity, feeding, and body weight in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats. For experiment 1, discharge rates were recorded in 39 gastric distension-responsive (GD-R) neurons in 12 DIO rats. Basal ra...

Common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the inverter causes motor bearing failures in multiphase drives.On the other hand, presence of undesired z-component currents in six-phase induction machine (SPIM) leads to extra current losses and have to be considered in pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. In this paper, it is shown that the presence of z-component currents and CMV in six phase driv...

In this paper, we report the experimental results of a pulsed flash lamped Nd:YAG laser at wavelength of 1064 nm and Qswitched by Cr4+:YAG solid state saturable absorber. We have obtained the output energy (E) and pulse-width ( p τ ) of this laser for various initial transmissions of this saturable absorber. Furthermore, the effect of reflectivity of the output coupler (R), diameter of the rod ...

A duty cycle control circuit for clock signals is presented. The proposed circuit uses a rising edge detector to generate one shot output signals which have the same frequency of the input clock signal. A pulse width controllable monostable multivibrator converts the one shot signals into rectangular pulses. By the feedback control voltage from an operational amplifier, the pulse width of gener...

This paper analyzes the mechanism of the fast response characteristic of a magnetically controlled reactor and response characteristic of magnetically controlled reactor in semi-limit saturated. A model of fast response is established based on pulse width modulation technology, and the simulation analysis is completed. The simulation results show that the response speed of magnetically controll...

This paper presents a Class-D power amplifier for bandpass pulse width modulated (BP-PWM) and bandpass deltasigma modulated (BP-DSM) signals at 20 MHz. A 1-bit 6-th order topology is used in the ∆Σ-modulator. Integral noise shaping is used in the generation of the bandpass pulse width modulated signal. A two sided pulse width modulation is used with a 6-bit 4th-order noise shaper. The push-pull...
